MLB offseason rumors, updates: Bregman, Alonso, trades, more - ESPN

With one month remaining until spring training arrives, there is still plenty of work left to be done this MLB offseason.

Eight of Kiley McDaniel's top 25 free agents entering the winter have yet to sign, and trade candidates including Nolan Arenado and Luis Robert Jr. have yet to be dealt. Who could be the next star to move, and when will the next major deals go down?

Here is the latest intel our MLB reporters are hearing about the biggest names and storylines left this offseason, starting with two premium free agent sluggers still searching for a team.

Buster Olney: The perception from some of the teams involved is that Scott Boras, who represents Bregman, might simply be waiting for someone to get closer to the financial terms they wanted — at a time when some execs think Bregman's market has been largely defined. The Giants signed one of his peers, Matt Chapman, to a six-year, $156 million deal, and that is just about what the Astros offered. Now the Astros have moved on and the Red Sox, Tigers and Blue Jays all have varying degrees of interest. One of the execs speculates that in the end, the Jays are in position to offer the most money, given their level of desperation. Now Bregman has choices to make.

Alonso's reported offer with the Mets underscores the reality of his market: All along, he has been worth more to the Mets than to any other team. Some rival evaluators speculate that eventually, he'll work out some kind of deal to go back, because there aren't a lot of teams ready to invest a nine-figure deal in a first baseman.

Jeff Passan: All it takes for either to sign is one team. And in Alonso's case, the obvious team is the Mets. They've got leverage — there are no others in the market for a first baseman at
